KS3 Numeracy Year 8
Building Numeracy

Each Building Numeracy unit contains a week’s worth of teaching for students who need to build their understanding of numeracy. Every aspect of numeracy is explicitly explained, so they can be taught by a teacher or a TA. It will take 2 terms to get through all the material, or select the units relevant to your students.

Units consist of three complete sessions plus homework. These sessions provide all you need to teach students who have currently not mastered this numeracy topic, e.g. place value. The teaching and activities are outlined in a word document and the teaching is structured through a PowerPoint presentation to use with the students. The homework activities consolidate the learning. It is envisaged that these three sessions comprise one week’s work for these students, at the end of which, they should have mastered the topic.

Lesson Planning

Day 1
An initial 5-minute timed assessment to gauge existing Place Value understanding [PowerPoint Slide 2] Each student will need a copy of the Skill Drill Record Sheet [see below, to be printed] to record their score and ongoing personal bests. Students struggling? Don’t worry – this is what you’ll be teaching them today…

Day 2
Rehearsal of reading and writing numbers to 100,000. Timed: 5mins [PowerPoint Slide 2] Each student will need a copy of the Skill Drill Record Sheet [see below]. Do students need a reminder before you start? Revisit ideas from the previous lesson and refresh the Place Value Chart image. [See today’s PowerPoint Slide 11] Are students struggling once they’ve begun? Can you quickly deal with a small number of students one-to-one, while the remainder complete the task? Or do you need to revise ideas from the previous lesson for the majority? [Revisit the Place Value Chart on today’s PowerPoint Slide 11]

Day 3
Rehearsal of comparing and ordering numbers up to 100,000. Timed: 3mins Don’t forget to update the Skill Drill Record Sheet [see below]! Do students need a reminder before you start? Revisit ideas from the previous lesson and refresh the use of < and > [See today’s PowerPoint Slide 11] Are students struggling once they’ve begun?
